Add a note about it to the README.
Also, remove mention of the avx-accel feature since it no longer exists.
(bytecount now uses runtime detection to enable SIMD support.)
Fixes#1175
This also updates some code to make use of our more liberal versioning
requirement, including the use of crossbeam-channel instead of the MsQueue
from the older an unmaintained crossbeam 0.3. This does regrettably add
a sizable number of dependencies, however, compile times seem mostly
unaffected.
Closes#1019
This commit does the work to delete the old `grep` crate and effectively
rewrite most of ripgrep core to use the new libripgrep crates. The new
`grep` crate is now a facade that collects the various crates that make
up libripgrep.
The most complex part of ripgrep core is now arguably the translation
between command line parameters and the library options, which is
ultimately where we want to be.
The preprocessor flag accepts a command program and executes this
program for every input file that is searched. Instead of searching the
file directly, ripgrep will instead search the stdout contents of the
program.
Closes#978, Closes#981
1.23.0 is the first Rust release of 2018 and is around half a year old,
which seems old enough to move to. This also lets us bring in encoding_rs
0.8, which includes performance optimizations.
This causes SIMD to kick in automatically when compiling with stable
Rust 1.27+.
We also update the README to describe the current state of things.
Thanks to @hartley for pointing this out:

Snap has caused a number of nonsensical bug reports, and not even the
`--classic` flag seems capable of fixing them. Therefore, remove snap
from the README and put in a special line in the ISSUE_TEMPLATE about
snap.
FIxes#902
It would be nicer to switch to the `ripgrep` snap package, but
apparently it is configured to install with a binary name `ripgrep.rg`
instead of just `rg`. *sigh*
This update brings with it a new feature of the regex crate which will
now use SIMD optimizations automatically at runtime with no necessary
compile time flags. All that's needed is to enable the `unstable` feature.
Other crates, such as bytecount and encoding_rs, are still using the
old-style SIMD support, so we leave the simd-accel and avx-accel features.
However, the binaries we distribute on Github no longer have those
features enabled, which makes them truly portable.
Fixes#135
Generating a Debian binary package was pretty easy using `cargo deb`, so
it is now part of the release. This commit updates the README's
installation methods to reference it.
I did look into setting up a PPA for Ubuntu, but my eyes glazed over while
reading the documentation. Providing a binary Debian package is likely a
faux pas, but it is extraordinarily convenient.
This commit cleans up the README and splits portions of it out into
a user guide (GUIDE.md) and a FAQ (FAQ.md). The README now provides a
small list of documentation "quick" links to various parts of the docs.
This commit also does a few other minor touchups.
This commit adds support for reading configuration files that change
ripgrep's default behavior. The format of the configuration file is an
"rc" style and is very simple. It is defined by two rules:
1. Every line is a shell argument, after trimming ASCII whitespace.
2. Lines starting with '#' (optionally preceded by any amount of
ASCII whitespace) are ignored.
ripgrep will look for a single configuration file if and only if the
RIPGREP_CONFIG_PATH environment variable is set and is non-empty.
ripgrep will parse shell arguments from this file on startup and will
behave as if the arguments in this file were prepended to any explicit
arguments given to ripgrep on the command line.
For example, if your ripgreprc file contained a single line:
--smart-case
then the following command
RIPGREP_CONFIG_PATH=wherever/.ripgreprc rg foo
would behave identically to the following command
rg --smart-case foo
This commit also adds a new flag, --no-config, that when present will
suppress any and all support for configuration. This includes any future
support for auto-loading configuration files from pre-determined paths
(which this commit does not add).
Conflicts between configuration files and explicit arguments are handled
exactly like conflicts in the same command line invocation. That is,
this command:
RIPGREP_CONFIG_PATH=wherever/.ripgreprc rg foo --case-sensitive
is exactly equivalent to
rg --smart-case foo --case-sensitive
in which case, the --case-sensitive flag would override the --smart-case
flag.
Closes#196
This commit adds opt-in support for searching compressed files during
recursive search. This behavior is only enabled when the
`-z/--search-zip` flag is passed to ripgrep. When enabled, a limited set
of common compression formats are recognized via file extension, and a
new process is spawned to perform the decompression. ripgrep then
searches the stdout of that spawned process.
Closes#539
